Traveling the World Through Others
On Wednesday, my younger son was sick. He threw up multiple times, so I let him stay home. It was a no-brainer: five am, puking all over the bathroom, white as a sheet. As soon as I was able to get my younger son set up on the couch to watch television, my older son…
